Written by Mel Kham on June 4, 2010. Posted in Linux tutorials

If you want to create a live CD/DVD for your your installed Ubuntu or any other debian based system the easy way, we advice you to use Live Magic, a tool for end-users to quickly and easily generate their own Debian live systems. It supports selecting:

Desktop environment

The distribution of Debian to build (stable, testing, etc.)

Media type (ISO9660, USB-HDD image, PXE netboot, etc.)

Target locale and keyboard layout, defaulting to current build system configuration

Debian Installer integration

12 languages

In ubuntu you can install the package from Ubuntu Software Center , or using the command :

sudo apt-get install live-magic

For other debian based systems use the command above or download the package from this Link.

When it is downloaded you can start it from The menu Applications > Accessoiries

To create a Live CD/DVD follow the steps as described in the screenshots bellow.

For Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx choose the mirror as described in the screenshot bellow ( http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ )

you are done. now the ISO will be saved under your destination folder

My question is the same as the poster before me. When I click the apply button. I get nothing.

Explanation needed.

This and nothing is almost the same, besides the minimal info is 10000000000000000 times in Internet. Who needs 10000000000000001 times?
